Abstract:
We report that the archetypal Escherichia coli strain C5 causing neonatal meningitis harbors a pathogenicity island (PAI) designated PAI I C5 that is similar to the PAI II J96 of uropathogenic E. coli J96 inserted in the leuX- tRNA gene. PAI-negative C5 mutants had a lower capacity than C5 to induce high-level bacteremia in a neonatal rat model. However, no change in their resistance to the bactericidal effect of serum and their capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier was observed.
